About

Growing up “in the sticks” just outside of Ardrossan, McCaffrey moved to Edmonton when he was in his early 20s. He was inspired to start sculpting by the 1994 Jim Carrey movie The Mask.Fast forward two decades or so, and now — using clay and two dental picks to create his art — McCaffrey is one of the premier sculptors in Edmonton. He recently supplied all the figures for an Edmonton stop-motion TV show called Squeaks and Cheeks⇒. McCaffrey is known best for his sculptures of his favourite musicians, and his ability to get backstage to hand them over to the artists himself. He’s both sculpted and met Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails, Lemmy from Motörhead (who died in 2015) and Glenn Danzig.
